NordVPN works with Windstream.
So, you can get the VPN to prevent throttling, boost your privacy, unblock non-US content (like Netflix Japan), and download torrents securely.
You can even connect to any of NordVPN’s 2100+ US servers while using Windstream for peak security and optimal performance over public Wi-Fi networks, during gaming sessions, and for other purposes.
Below, I’ll show you how to connect to NordVPN using Windstream on your PCs, smartphones, smart TVs, and game consoles.
How to Use NordVPN on Phones and PCs Using Windstream?
Although I use NordVPN with Windstream on Windows, the steps are similar for other PCs and phones.
Here’s how:
- Subscribe to NordVPN using these top offers.
- Download the NordVPN app.
- Launch the app and log in.
- Activate the NordVPN kill switch to prevent your internet activity’s exposure to Windstream if the VPN connection drops. You can access this feature via Settings > Kill Switch.
- Go through Settings > Connection to select a “VPN protocol.” I recommend NordLynx for the least speed drop on Windstream.
- Click “VPN,” then connect to a suitable server. You can connect to NordVPN’s P2P servers for torrenting without Windstream detecting and reporting you.
- Alternatively, clicking “Quick Connect” assigns a server optimized for your device’s best performance.
- That’s it! Surf the internet, download content, unblock geo-restricted streams, and transact securely on Windstream with top-shelf online security.
I unlocked YouTube TV to watch Northwestern State University vs. LSU Tigers outside Louisiana with Windstream using NordVPN.
Using NordVPN’s obfuscated servers prevents Windstream from knowing you’re bypassing its geo-restrictions with a VPN.
How to Set up NordVPN on Smart TVs and Game Consoles Using Windstream?
You can connect your smart TVs or game console to NordVPN while using Windstream in one of the following ways:
Method | Reasons to Use | Biggest Con(s) | Guide |
---|---|---|---|

How to Access Windstream Kinetic Camera Feed Remotely With NordVPN?
You can access your Windstream Kinetic camera feed remotely with NordVPN’s Meshnet. This is possible since Meshnet places your viewing device on the same local area network as your Windstream Kinetic camera.
Follow these steps to see your Kinetic camera feed via Meshnet:
- Subscribe to NordVPN (best discounts).
- Download the NordVPN app and log in.
- Click “Meshnet,” then enable the feature.
- Follow NordVPN’s IP camera-Meshnet guide to complete the setup for your device type.
- You should now be able to access your Kinetic camera’s interface and watch the feed from anywhere, provided the host and client devices have Meshnet active.
Does NordVPN Work With Windstream Kinetic Routers?
NordVPN doesn’t work with the Windstream Kinetic routers, as they don’t allow third-party app installations.
Thankfully, you can set up the VPN on other DSL-compatible routers (like Netgear) with Windstream running on them.
You can follow the router guide (under the Smart TV/game console section) above to install NordVPN on a Windstream-powered router.
Secure Your Windstream Internet With NordVPN
NordVPN’s 16 USA locations offer speedy Windstream connections for seamless access to local content. These servers are also the best to get DDoS protection, low ping, and minimal latency while gaming with NordVPN over Windstream.
Alternatively, you can connect to its servers in 59 other countries to unlock restricted content, torrent files and do much more privately on Windstream.
